To make two skewers using knitting, you can follow these steps:Materials you will need:
- Yarn
- Knitting needles (size may vary depending on the yarn you choose)
- Scissors
- Start by casting on stitches onto one of the knitting needles. The number of stitches you cast on will depend on how wide you want your skewer to be. For this tutorial, let's cast on 10 stitches.
- Once you have cast on your stitches, hold the needle with the stitches in your left hand and the empty needle in your right hand.
- Insert the right-hand needle into the first stitch on the left-hand needle as if you were going to knit.
- Wrap the yarn around the right-hand needle, from back to front, as if you were going to knit.
- Slide the right-hand needle through the first stitch, taking the yarn with it.
- Slip the first stitch off the left-hand needle.
- Repeat steps 3 to 6 until you have knit all the stitches from the left-hand needle to the right-hand needle.
- Once you have knit all the stitches, the empty needle becomes the left-hand needle and the needle with the stitches becomes the right-hand needle.
- Repeat steps 3 to 6 until you have knit all the stitches from the left-hand needle to the right-hand needle.
- Continue knitting back and forth between the two needles until your skewer is the desired length. Cut the yarn, leaving a tail of several inches.
- To finish the skewer, thread the tail of yarn onto a tapestry needle and weave it in and out of the last row of stitches. Cut off any excess yarn.
- Repeat steps 1 to 11 to make a second skewer.
